Mission

What is the goal of this project?

What is the scope of this project?

For example:

Develop just enough functionality to scratch a particular itch

Build a tool just like XYZ, but less broken

Build the best XYZ-tool ever!

What are high-level features you are sure to build?

What would you write on a billboard about your project? Users
might only look for a few seconds.

Use the issue tracker to track features and enhancement
requests. It is not just for bugs, pre-populate it with feature
descriptions so that potential contributors know what you would like them
to work on.

What are the high-level assumptions or ground rules for the project?

For example:

we will use programming language X on operating system Y for now.

We will, or will not, consider certain functional areas like
internationalization, high security, concurrency, etc. The list of
functional areas will depend on what you are trying to do.

Try to keep this part short.
